The will be churning-out them Mac OSX viruses and trojans real soon for y'all. | ||

Joined: November 2006 Posts: 2241 Location: Simpsonville, SC | Well, I have the iPhone and a PC...ga-ga..yes, but I am that way about almost all new technology. I had a Mac 2 years ago, yet let my son get it from me. Deriving a living from PC's made a full-time switch nearly impossible. Mike, you will love the Mac! With your creative abilities and musical talent it will inspire you and serve you well. Guess that says alot about letting MY Mac go. Enjoy Buddy! | ||

Joined: March 2005 Posts: 5563 Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | iMac arrived today...WOW! This is one sweet machine...I was up and running in just a minute (literally) and this thing is amazing...The built in "Airport" found my home wireless network and connected in seconds...The keyboard is the most comfortable and fastest I've ever used...and the seller loaded it with iWork, iLife, MSoft Office for Mac, Adobe suite w/Photoshop, Dreamweaver, etc... Just a Apogee to add w/Logic Express and DAW, here I come! The display is awesome! I got a wireless mighty mouse as well as a wired one... Also got an iPod 8 gig freebee: brand new...I've loaded pic's and mp3's and still have only filled 2/3rd's of it... What a cool package...and the tech at the Apple store fixed my PC at the same time...Seems Trend Micro's firewall is too powerful and slows everything down...he suggested a better way to go in that direction. So. I will probably use the PC for the Job and the Mac for music creation and recording... Cool!!! | ||

Joined: December 2001 Posts: 7210 Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I find these conversations so odd. You won't find a true professional that will make a blanket statement that either a PC or MAC is "better" cause it's as subjective as who's the best guitar player, or what is the best guitar. It's all about what you need to do. Plain and simple. Both have their moments. My collegue on several projects and an avid long-time MAC user is now on WEEK TWO of trying to get his BRAND NEW MAC to work properly. Of course you hear more about bad PC's cause there are at least 100 times more of them at this point. Get the right tool for the right job, ask a professional. Some of the garbage from the garage mechanics I have seen here is disgusting. Do really care that little about your "friends" to give shade tree advice when there are professionals here who can give real advise. Sorry.. don't mean to rant. It's the same on most public forums. People listen to the advise the like the best, not necessarily the best advice... or at least from the best sources. I never understood this. Ove seen guitars ruined, people wasting hours and hours trying to get computers to work, but please continue. Really. It's a great source of entertainment. We now return you to your regularly scheduled program. | ||

Granted in earlier years it was more skewed towards WIN as over the years they have gradually decreased market share. ... Of course you hear more about bad PC's cause there are at least 100 times more of them at this point. I agree with Miles. It's a stupid discussion. Use what makes you overly thrilled, immensely happy and jumping for joy. That's sure as hell what I do. If people poke fun at you, take solace in the fact that you're right, they're wrong, end of story. Dave | ||
